Mr. Cartelyou, in setting the ex ' ample ot opening new departments witlv 'prayer, tacitly recognizes that ti old are past praying for. , , 3' " I'. .The New York boy who is trying to increase his : weight by drinking twenty-five quarts of pop a day would prove a" paying investment for some '. circus. ' ': : ' 1 The Austrian beaten to doath by a Vienna mob for approaohing Francis Joseph with the request for a pass port to China doubtless feels now that he has gone too far. ' ' The loss of life at IGvansville is to be deplored, bnt censure for the militia , atad officers of the law is uncalled for. , Tha mob has paid no more than the penalty which it invited. The Constitution and Journal are agreed that Mr. Parker's "kind words" for Atlanta make him the most' eligible of the candidates for the Democratic nomination. The attack on the negro waiters at Linton, Ind., reveals a condition of affairs which exists no where in the tjoatli that of a community from Which all uogroes are excluded. The Sunday excursion, as conducted hy the Kentucky nogro, with a record tf eight shot , and three drowned, makes the Evansville and Wilmington riots look like , amateur performances. .The number of dead and injured patriots as a result of the olobration of the Fourth gives evidence that Americans are still willing to sac rifice their lives for an idea or with out an idea. The facts that convicts in Kansas ,are to be paid two cents a day wagos is not likely to cause any of the postal employes under indictment to ask for & change of vonue. They might be paid in stamps. The Clackamas County musquito is a very active gontlomim these days. He knows where the best picking is to be found. Ho has a bill as sharp ris tho pointed end of a wasp's sting uud ho is out for blood. Ho s just ubont as hard to shako off after ho has planted his fangs and gotten a tast of Wood us a Claekauias county Repub licans is to shako off after he has gotten his hand into the publio till. They we both "onto thoir job." Under the most favorable, auspices, under bountiful skios, with golden tnijshinu kisMiug every hill and every valley the Wilhtmotto .Valley Chau tauqua opened its tenth annual session ' on Tuesday of this week. The at li"d:neo was splendid and tho pro-' uraiu is moBt exoollent, and every thing and evory body is contributing to tho suocosh of this magnificent eut oi prise. For two weeks it will be u entertainment and an intoloetual diversion an treat worthy of tho closest personal attention of every 'citizen in tho valley. Let every body attend and draw an inspiration from this Chautann.ua to bettor and nobler things in life as well as to reeruto the Iwiily with health aud mind with nil additional store of knowledge. Oassius M. Clay, aged, imbecile and oooontrie, has been 'taken in charge l.y his friends, and hereafter will be under such surveillance as will, it is hoped, keep him out of mischief of the .matrimonial order. His foolish marriage with a girl of 14, her subse ilutMit withdrawal from his home with dis consent,' her divorce and utilise .luout marriage furnished a sensation fuw years ago for the countryside in Kentucky where he had long dwelt. The young woman whopostd as the child-wife of tho whimsical old man for a tune and then left him Is now a widow, and will, it is said, return wnd remarry him. His heirs-at-law naturally' seek to prevent this, and will if possible, shield him from tho impending folly. Those who remem httWui M. Clay in his effective years regarded with compassion the folly of his secoud childhood, and will be glad if during his remaining yours on earth he can be protected from himself and the matrimonial specter 'that pursues him. The mis fortune that has overtaken him n his old age will probably reniaui.with Uua w nui. but it YiU n cloml HOSPITAL SECRETS. Nurse Saysi ' Pe-ru-na Tonic of Efficiency." is a MRS. KATE TAYLOR. Mrs. Kate Taylor, a graduated nurse ot prominence, gives her ex perience with Peruna in an open letter. Her position In society and I professional standing combine to give special prominence to her ut terances. ftHICAGO, ILL.,' 427 Monroe St. V " As far as I have observed Peruna la the finest tonic any man or woman can use who Is weak from the aftet effects of any serious illness, " I have seen It used In a number of convalescent cases, and have seen sev eral other tonics used, but 1 found thai those who used Peruna had the quickest relief. "Peruna seems to restore vitality, Increase bodily vigor and renew health and strength In a wonderfully short time." MRS. KATE TAYLOR. In view of the great multitude oi women suffering from some form of fe male diseaso and yet unable to find any cure, Dr. Hartman, the renowned spe cialist on fomule catarrhal diseases, has announced his willingness to direct the treatment of as many cases as make application to him during the summer months, without charge. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. the record of ; the active effective years in which his name was a sy no nyni for intelligence and forcef ullness. Oregonian. , John R. Proctor, president of the Civil Service commission, was in former years state geologist of Ken tucky, and has traveled all over the mountain soctons of the state. Hear ing of Senator Blackburn's remark that the people living in that section are the most incomprehensible crea tures on earth, Mr. Proctor said he was riding through Breathitt county, when, tired and hungry, ho came to a fftm j10nge. pile near the gate was a man about 40 years old, long and lank, but his face was bright and a quaint little smile seemed to be dodging in and out of it as he 'looked upon my approach. "Good morning," said Proctor, rein ing in. "I'd like to see the man of the house. " "Thar ain't none," he replied very 'gravely. "The party you want to see is my wife, I reckon. " " CLEVELAND WOULD BE DEFEATED All this talk about Grover Cleve land accepting the Democratic nom ination for president is tho verriest rot. No man will dony that Cleve land" in ills day and generiation was a man of some parts, that ho was a goql runnor and the Democratic Party elected him president of these United States on two ' occasions and got the holy smoke beaten out of them on at tempting to elect him on two other occasions. We have no idea that Cleveland would accept the nomina tion if tendered him. He would be a bigger fool than "Thompson's colt" if ho did. If nominated ho would be the worst beaten man who ever run for president ; Greely not barred. The nomination of Cleveleand would be a party calamity. Henry Watterson characterized his nomination in 1888 as tho "Democratic party inarching through a slaughter pen to an open grave," this time it would mean party suicide with malace afterthought. Tho nomination of Bryan is equally as impossible as Cleveland's if we ex pect to have even a fighting chance to win. Bryan is a younger, a better, a brighter and a bigger man than Cleve and ever was. He lias been nominated by his party and led tho party to de feat twice. Cleveland has done as badly. The nomination of Cleveland would bo a red rag in the ia?e of every believer in. Bryan and the Kansas City platform and bo it known that notwithstanding the trend of events their number is yet legion. The nom ination of Bryan would disintegrate and disrupt the party even more than it did in 1S1H5 and 1000. What the Democratic party wants to do is to turn its face away from the past and toward tho future. "Let the past dead hurry its dead." Stop fussing about Cleveland and Bryan; two impossibil ities; aud "get together" on a good, honest, sensible platform upon which every honost man under the flag can stand and then pick out a man for whom all eau vote. He need not have a reputation as resplendent as Clove- OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 190 J land's. He need not be a brilliant metoric star like Bryan. He may be and possibly it would be better if he were just a plain, common every day citizen for whom we all have respect and .in whom we all have confidence. Make the platform and we will find the man. No occasion has as yet been seen in this world when a man could not be found if a man was wanted to fill any place of responsibility and trust. .Quit fighting shadows, let peace and harmony and "get to geth er" be the watchword.' Quit fighting ourselves and fight the Republicans awhile and the results will be better for the party and the country at large. THEY HAVE SERVED HIS ENDS A millionaire shoe manufacture in South Boston, Mass. , has shut down his shoe factory and turned out his 1200 employees so that he may take his young and handsome wife to Eu rope to study music ' She has been taken seriously ill of a violent operatic fever since some of her soiree friends have made her believe that she can cultivate her voice so as to make Mel ba sound like six punched nickles "jingling on a string. Hence hubby shuts down the brogan .foundry and turn $1600 people., whose living de- pended on the labor of his 1300 work ! men to root hogsbr die! ;'' The hilarious and. tuneful episode. ' is causing some lively discussion in I oureastern contemporaries and eveo the freedom shrieked New York Even'i i ing Post seriously asks: "Has he a ! right to do this?" ' , I Why not? It is true, doubtless, as stated, that the man began humbly,' worked hard, bailt up his business, made millions off the capital lie had invested and the labor of his shoe makers, and built up a settlementt in which they dwelt with ease and com- j for. Now that he has got money enough to allow himself a vacation and his wife unlimited vocalization in the conservatories of Europe, why j should he hesitate because his work men are to face idleness, their prop- : erty depreciate and the settlement he founded grow desolate ? Have they not all served the ends he had in view? Have not his workmen for two decades voted him the highest . protection for . his goods aud made ' all thier fellows in other employ ments pay unwarranted profits to him on every pair of shoes he turned out? And now, being a millionaire and having a possible successor to Adellna -.Patti to drill in European musical centers, what further use has he for. them? This is a free conn-! try and no man has a right to abuse our shoemakor friend for going off, to Europe indefinitely and leaving the creators of this fortune to scuffle for work and bread. He is not likely to be hungry for anything, unless it be for ear-muffs for some time to come. ' It is contended by our east-ern news paper friends that mon of fortune owo their first duty to the towns and op eratives by whose help they have made their fortunes. That is a most far-fetched conclusion. If it were true every millionaire almost . in the country would . owe the south much consideration and largess for the gain made in exploiting our raw products under great graft of protective tariff. But that is a question apart. We only intend here to combat the idea that millionaires made by protection owe anything to the poor slaves of their machinery 'for bounties from the government. So long as labor fosters aud supports the system it must ex pect to be treated generally is this millionaire song-bird ower is treating the people who helped him to affluence. Atlanta Constitution. Keep Your Eye Out For the Comet. The comet discovered by Borrelly at Marseilles three weeks ago has been ob served by a number of Oregon City peo ple during the past week. The new comet promises to be an unusually in teresting one. Its brightness ha in creased so rapidly that it is nowaseas. ilv visible as a fourth magnitude star. Its motion carries it Bouthwestward about five degrees daily. To the unas sisted eye the comet appears as a hazy path of light. An acute eye is able to detect a short tail prnjecMnij away from the sun. Photographs have recorded two prominent tails each several de grees in length. While it is always un safe to predict how bright a comet will grow, yet there is little doubt hat this one will be a fairly conspicuous object iu the evei-ing sky. In fact it is expect, ed that it will be one of the brightest comets of recent years. Lethr List.
